Instinct tried to take notice; the world
tried to prevent my downfall.

I didn’t listen.

I’ll forever wonder what would’ve happened if
I did pay attention to those messages. Would I have survived? Would I have
fallen in love? Would I have been happy?

Then again, perhaps just like messages
existed, fate existed, too.

And no matter what life path we choose, fate
always has the final say.

I didn’t listen but it doesn’t mean I didn’t
live.

I just lived a different tale than the one
I’d envisioned.

Away from my home.

Away from my family.

Away from everything comfortable and
familiar.

But I wasn’t alone…

I was with him.

And
he became my entire universe.
